Ageless Forever Anti-Aging News Blog

If you are following the anti-aging news, you’ve heard about the supposed benefits of chronic calorie restriction for increasing longevity. These claims are based on research done in various species such as flies, worms and mice.

Here I will make the case that chronic calorie restriction actually counteracts the prospects of a healthy vital long life.
